The textile is on display at the moment, but I will try to take it out of the case for a more detailed photograph. The contents of the box were examined in 1998 by specialists from the Manchester Medieval Textiles project, who described them as a ‘mass on unspun wool’, fragments of tablet-woven braid, threads of wool tied in a knot, and a cable made from yarns; in other words, a mixture of separate threads and woven textile. If you need more specific information, please contact the Antiquities section via our contact details, which you can find via the World Museum website.

Would it possible to post a magnified pic of the contents to understand if the threads are separate or woven in some way? Thank you!
